WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Lizzie Rose.
Write a poem or story about fog, steering away from any horror themes.
Usually when we think of fog, our minds come up with a daunting image. Try to make your story/poem beautiful.
Pain That Paints My Soul
**_*Warning: This ain’t “beautiful” as in a beautiful place where the fog lays upon the flowers and green grass. This is art/literature, it is meant to confort the disturbed and disturbed the comforted.*
_**I am
Unable
To think.
My brain,
It is
Blurry. Nothing
Feels
Real anymore.
I try to
Burry
My pain by
Writing writing it
Away.
That never works.
Though,
It helps me
Understand what I
Am feeling
Because
I have trouble
With emotions.
I put a
Shining smile on,
Don’t
Look too close!
You’ll see
My spark is
Gone.
I hate this feeling.
Oh, the panic
Rises
Behind my locked door.
All I can
Think about
Is how my tears are
Salty.
It hurts.
It all hurts.
Not physically,
But emotionally.
I crave a release,
A alternate reality.
I craft
Character
And plots.
I built a world and
A common goal.
In school
I get
Stuck
In my head.
I stare at the
Wall, wondering
Why?
Why did the main
Character
Do that?
Why did _I_ do that?
Self-insert characters
Cry in the stories.
Will they get
A happy ending?
They probably won’t,
The story won’t take
_Them_
__
To the end.
In the end,
Others
Celebrate winning,
But they
Sacrificed themselves
For their friends.
Oh! Now we are doing a project?
What are the directions?
I wasn’t playing attention, but I can’t just ask, my teacher will be
Disappointed!
Look around, what are the others doing?
Oh gosh, I’m falling behind!
If I fall behind what am I?
I have always been gifted,
So what am I without that?
My grades are falling,
I am a failure!
I hate living like this.
In the world where dragons and fairies don’t exist, the dreamers are writing.
We are blinded by our fiction, our escape.
It is better than not having a distraction, though, I was never meant to be a poet nor a plain, normal writer.
I was simply meant to be a genius, but geniuses don’t fall behind.
*This is all over the place, but it is true. My brain is always fogged (not just by stories). Anyways, have a great day!*
